If you want me to check your settings, drop me a message at dj0qn (at) darc (dot) de and
I will see if I can find it. It is usually wrong in the I/O settings.

Joe,

I don't think you gave enough information to determine your problem.

Lots of people confuse DNS server and dynamic DNS server. Are you referring to the SIP contact
field, or the actual DNS server address? I don't believe there is even a way to enter a DNS server
address on the Micro PC Client.

What kind of radio is it? Is the radio RRC working fine when connecting with a control RRC? Is the
control RRC disconnected?

Any further information you can provide would help.

If it was setup with the correct cable between the RRC's I/O port and K3's ACC and the settings on
the RRC are correct per the instructions, then it will turn on with no problem.

You need to carefully go through everything again and see where you made a mistake.

I think you are asking about profiles for the RRC?

In that case, yes, there is a menu "profiles" that has five different ones for you to use.
The can be switched within the web menu, using the Microbit Setup Manager, or using
the CW pot. For the latter, the directions are on the RRC's profiles web page.

No, that doesn't make sense. The dynamic DNS is on the radio side and is only in the control
RRC's SIP Contact field that doesn't change when you switch to DHCP. In other words, they
have nothing to do with each other.

It is even easier than that: the RRC has a built-in serial to USB converter and you don't even
need the Prolific cable. Just change COM2 setting to set it to use USB and then look-up the
virtual port that Windows issued. Prolific cables are terrible, anyway, never use anything but
FTDI, or you are asking for trouble!

Any sound card interface would be fine, including the Signalink. However, don't use VOX as the
PTT method which is normal on the Signalink.

I was very busy today, so I couldn't call. I have a few minutes now if you are available.

It is really not complicated at all to set it up for CAT. You only need a (real) serial cable between the
TS-480's RS232 port and the radio RRC's COM2. The rest is a couple of settings in each RRC. I have a
CAT checklist available when you are ready. That opens up a lot of possibilities, including effectively
using WJST and doing PTT via CAT like I do. Highly recommended, just one cable necessary.

What you need is to forward the web port for the radio RRC after changing and password protecting it to
be able to make changes and tweaks as you go along. You will never need help then at the actual station.

We can go through this stuff on the phone when I get a chance.

To get audio back from the radio into MMTTY, you must connect to the SP jack of the RRC and
from there to the audio input of your sound card interface or computer. There is no other way
for the program to get audio in.

Audio out for sound card modes like PSK, WJST and AFSK, is done the other way around by going
from the sound card interface or line out of the computer into the RRC's AUX/MIC jack. Since you
are (trying to use) using the RRCÄs FSK generation method, that doesn't apply to you, although it
may be easier on your nerves than what you are going through right now and would allow you to
use other digital modes as well.

I will see if I have time tomorrow afternoon to take a look at your setup.

You may have fixed the RRC's IP number using the 192.168.1.XXX subnet, but the hotspot may have
a different subnet. Make sure the RRC is set to DHCP and it should hopefully work.

There is no USB audio generated by the RRC, so no. You just take the audio off of the SP jack.

Even then, that would affect the transmit audio.

I think there is some setting somewhere on MMTTY that is messed up. I can take a look using
Teamviewer if you want, but I am far from being an expert. I would just be able to be a second
set of eyes.

Dennis,

It could be a number of things, which I can't tell without looking at your settings. I suggest
that you take a look at the following:

- I/O settings on control RRC:
INO mode: Keyer
OUT0 mode: Connect
OUT1 mode: I/O
OUT2 mode: I/O
rest disabled

- I/O settings on radio RRC:
OUT0: PTT or I/O
OUT1: Baudot-RTTY/45
OUT2: Keyer
The last two may be reversed, not sure, but this is what is in the manual page
97

Control RRC Serial Settings:
COM3/Extra to mode-10, Baudot-RTTY

Select the COM3/COMEXTRA Windows assigned port found in the Windows Device Manager to the RTTY program

It has been several years since I installed this at our stations and I never use FSK, so this is sort of out of my fading
memory. All I really remember is that we needed to change the stereo plugs to mono to make it work. I am sure that
it is something minor in the settings somewhere.

Hi Dennis,

The TS-480 requires a mono plug in the key jack to make it work. If you are using a stereo
plug, then you will have a continuous tone when trying to send FSK using the RRC's FSK
over COM0/COMEXTRA feature.

I hope this helps.

Hi Fred,

If it works from everywhere else and not from Verizon, then there is something with them that is
blocking you. I don't know Verizon, so I can't really help you, but make sure that you are not using
port 5600 for SIP and make sure that SIP ALG is turned off in the router if an option.

Otherwise, maybe someone else that uses Verizon can chime in.
